I KNOW what you are all thinking, for those who are following "Put me Out", "When All Else Fails", or any of my other stories. I KNOW I should be writing those chapters, updating those stories, but… I couldn't resist, after reading this really great book. It's basically fashioned after that book, and I'm hoping that I can do it all ok.
That said book being "The Perks of Being a Wallflower", by Stephen Chbosky. I recommend it!
This whole story is in Naruto's POV, and it is not a diary. These are LETTERS to an unknown person. To you, the reader. OK? Ok!
And to tell you, this story might have REAL irregular updates, due to the fact that I have four stories going, and I really need to get those done XD;;. OK?
Ok. Now for the other shit.
DISCLAIMER: None of the characters in this story are mine. They all belong to the maker of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto

And now, for all of your enjoyment, "Sincerely Yours"!!
OoO
Dear Friend,
I know you do not know me, and I am sure I do not know you. I just passed your house one day, and memorized your address, for some unknown reason to me. And I don't know why I'm sending you these letters. Maybe because I can't really hold all these emotions in, not anymore. Because a lot of people hate me, it seems like, and I don't know why.
Well, I should just start off with the things I usually start off with. My name is… Well, Uzumaki Naruto. So, by now, you might know who I am. But, besides that. I am a 12 year old boy (turning 13 on October 10!!!) who goes to…Well, I will not tell you the name of my school, because you might not know who I am, and decide to look for me when I tell you. And I don't want anyone looking for me anymore, because it hurts when they do, because they usually hate me after. So I won't give you my looks, either. Just my name and age. And the name of my (old) elementary school, which was W.F.A. Turgeon. And I'll also give you the fact that I have three whisker-like scars on my face, on each side of it. One of my old-favorite teachers (I'll tell you the name, anyways, for the hell of it. Do you care if I use swears like 'hell' and 'shit'? I'm sorry if you do.), Genma Shiranui (He is now an asshole!!) once told me that I am a 'unique individual'. And I had to look up those words because I was only 7 at the time, and I was kind of stupid. So, unique means original and individual means one person.
And I'm still kinda stupid, and I don't like using big or confusing words, so I'm sorry that all that stuff above was so 'formal'.
I live alone, just to let ya know. I have no family, and sometimes that bugs me, because you always see people with big families on TVs or in stores. And the only existing family I know of is this woman that travels a lot, and she doesn't really care for me. But my house does get paid for by those counselor people. They also pay for my food. But I only get 500 dollars a month, so I have to use it wisely. And that's kinda hard too, sometimes, because I really love new things like jackets and toys and stuff, but I can't buy it, because I need the money for food and 'important things'. Like Ramen. Ramen is my FAVORITE food of all time!! It's the best! And I love Miso the best! It's so yummy! I spend all my money on ramen. And school supplies. And important things.
I have no friends really. My best friends are my plants, and they're all over my house. I'm not proud to say it, but I've stolen a lot of these plants, and a few other things, too, but they're all I have. Because it's nice to know that something depends on you. Something exists for you. But, sorry for going off topic so much. I just can't help rambling, and I don't wanna erase all these lines and fix a mistake, so I just ramble.
I should really clean up the house and get ready for school tomorrow. Because I start a new school! It's called…Well, I can't say the name, but it has the word 'comprehensive' in it! I don't even know what comprehensive means, but I can't wait to start. I hope I can make some friends. I didn't have a lot at my old school, so I hope I make tons and tons of friends at this school! I'm a bit loud and 'obnoxious' (another big word I had to look up), and really hyper. That's what another teacher told me. They all thought I had A.D.H.D., an attention disorder thing, but didn't want to test it to see if it was true. Oh well.
I'm sorry I sent you this letter, once again. I just want someone to know me with out actually knowing me. Considering you haven't already thrown out this letter, thank you for taking the time to read the ramblings of an growing kid. I'll send you another one soon!
Tomorrow is my first day of school!! So wish me luck, and I hope you have a good day!!!
Sincerely Yours,
Uzumaki Naruto

OOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo
Dear Friend,
Sorry I didn't mail you sooner then I thought I would. I've just been so tied up with a new school and paying for my home and everything. But I'll tell you one thing.
The first day of school blowed!
Of course I was nervous, and hoping that everything would be OK, that I would make some friends, and it was a good day. Until I got to my first period class, where I met the most evil, mean, asshole-ish person ever! Uchiha Sasuke, 'prodigy' of my school. He's supposed to be perfect, and all the girls swoon over him, and it's gross. He's not even a year older then me, and he acts like he's hundreds and thousands of years better! I'd like to see him beat me in a fight!
He's real mean and cold too. He doesn't talk to anyone, and just glares at anyone who talks to him. And I mean GLARES. I swear that guy could kill someone with it if he tried. But, yeah. He's real mean and cold and UNGRATEFUL! (Big words, because it is really, really, really true).
But, how I started 'disliking' Sasuke was because of this girl. Her name is Haruno Sakura. The prettiest girl ever! I have a big crush on her, because she IS perfect, and she seems (seemed?) nice. I never even knew her until this morning.
Anyway, when I was just sitting beside Mr. 'I-got-a-stick-up-my-ass-bow-down-to-me' Uchiha (I didn't know he was an asshole from the first few seconds I was there), Sakura came in. And I SWEAR on my mother's grave (I hope this is OK, cuz' I never knew my mum), that my heart stopped. Because she was perfect!
She then let out this big huge squeal when this other girl, who has really long blonde hair and is even louder then me, came in by pushing her aside, and that girl gasped too. They then pointed at me and I became really excited, because I thought they might think I'm cute. I remember someone telling me I'm cute, with my baby-boy looks and tan skin and then they listed all of these good qualities. But, anyway, they pointed at me. And then they raced towards me Then I got scared because I don't want girls hugging me and all that until I know them. Is that so wrong, not wanting a girl all over you until you know them?
I'm drifting off topic again. So they came racing towards me, and I kind of leaned back and closed my eyes, like I was waiting for something to hit me. It never came, obviously, or else I wouldn't be telling you about this. When I opened my eyes, they were around THAT asshole, and he was looking all bored while they swooned all over him! Couldn't he at least smile? Because those girls were giving him all that attention? He isn't Mr. Perfect! But when I looked around, I noticed almost ALL of the girls were staring at him. Except for this one real butch girl who was asleep, I think, because her eyes were closed, and this black-haired girl with white eyes.
The one with white eyes is kind of freaky, because… Well, because of her eyes. They are PURE white. No irises or color or anything. They looked like they could see RIGHT through you. And she looked really shy, too, because she was sitting right behind me and I could look at her closely. She has real pale skin and looked like she didn't want to be there. And then she caught me looking at her weirdly and blushed. I haven't really seen anyone blush (because they usually just smile or laugh or flirt or something else), so I smiled. I was about to smile bigger and say hi until I was pushed out of my seat.
It was the blonde girl, glaring at me and my legs on the seat. I looked at her angrily, because wouldn't you be angry if someone pushed you out of your seat? She just told me to get out, because she wanted to sit by her 'precious Sasuke-kun'. That's where I learned his name first.
I started yelling at her and I got off the ground, careful to keep my legs in MY seat because she'd probably take it. We got into this big yelling match until Sakura came in, yelling at me to 'not yell at Ino, who was doing nothing.". (I just remembered her name!) Then I kinda stuttered and pointed, telling her that she started it, until a cold voice broke in. It sent chills up and down my spine, even.
"Shut up, Idiot."
And that's when the girls really started swooning and fawning over Sasuke, that bastard, and that's when I got real angry. I told him to mind his own business, and that's when Sakura came over and hit me. I can't believe she did that! (I still like her, though).
It was only then I realized that Ino had taken my seat because I stood up and I was kind of embarrassed, because why was she such a bitch?! Even though she was Sakura-chan's friend didn't mean she had to be so obnoxious!
So I went up to Sasuke and slammed my hand down on the desk, and told him it was all his fault. He just stared at me and told me to get lost. So I got real close to his face and stared at him angrily. He stared back and we had this big glaring contest. All the girls were cheering for him, of course, except for the white-eyed one. Even the butch one was. This is where it became very ugly.
A guy was trying to inch past behind me, but another guy pushed him playfully, and his hand landed on my back, kind of pushing me forward. I opened my mouth in surprise, and the next thing I knew, I was open-mouth kissing SASUKE! He looked all freaked out, and I could hear this big gasp behind us. We stayed there for a few seconds until we broke apart, and then I ran over to the garbage and started to spit in it. Sasuke, who is an asshole, just spit openly on the ground and kept on doing that. That's when I felt this heated glare on my back, and do you know how that feels? I hope you don't because it feels bad, like something truly bad is going to happen to you.
And that was when I was beat up by all of the girls in that class.
Of course, this teacher came in and broke it up before any of them could do some real serious damage (Thank God!), and we continued with first period class. Which was music, by the way.
And I love music now, because my teacher is really nice. Umino Iruka. He doesn't glare at me when I go off tune by accident, or sneer at me because I'm 'different'. So I really like him. He says I have 'potential'.
The rest of the day was pretty boring after that. I ate my lunch (which was Miso and Pocky!!), and went through the day with out making any friends. I only met these two guys named Choji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara. Their both cool, though Chouji eats lots and Shikamaru is real lazy. I hung out with them a few times already, but I don't think they 'like me-like me', if you know what I mean.
And by the time I got out of school that day, everyone knew about me kissing that bastard, and a few of the jocks tried tripping me and calling me a fag. I beat one up real good enough to sprain his wrist, so everyone left me alone after that. I'm glad I didn't get suspended, but I don't think anyone would tell anyone else. I knew I was strong enough so I wouldn't be bothered!
The only other thing worth mentioning either then that little thing up there is that Bastard Sasuke and Sakura-chan are on my gym team. Our gym teacher is this perverted guy named Kakashi, who reads Porn in class. Me, Sasuke, and Sakura are supposed to come up with a gymnastic routine in a month. It will be marked on 'team work, originality, and difficulty'. Sasuke already did some pretty cool moves (I have to admit that, even though I really hate too), and Sakura is good at cartwheels and stuff like that (she did gymnastics when she was younger, I learned.). And I have nothing but my fighting moves. So I started doing those, to try and impress Sakura-chan, but Sasuke told me to stop making an idiot of myself. Bastard! And then Sakura followed up by saying that I couldn't be any help if that was all I had. So I'm going to work hard and learn some new moves to impress her!
That Bastard Sasuke. He's taking the attention of everyone away, and he doesn't even appreciate it. He should, because at least he has people who like and admire him. I have no one that cares about me. He's up high on a pedestal and I'm being trampled by everyone as they try and get to him.
Sorry for sounding depressive. Sometimes I can't help it, and it pops out. It's hard to act real happy when you feel like you're ripping inside, sometimes.
But I talked to that girl, the white-eyed one, once already. She stuttered a lot, but I now know her name is Hyuuga Hinata. She's ok and cool and all, but she kind of creeps me out. Oh well. Maybe I can be better friends with her later. But I have to focus on other stuff right now.
I now know more stuff about my favorite teacher, Iruka. I know that he didn't have any parents or family either, because they were killed by this homicidal psychopath guy that everyone named 'nine-tails', or 'Kyuubi', because… Well, Iruka didn't know, but I bet it was something cool. I hate saying that though, because that guy killed my favorite teacher's parent and family. I wanna capture a guy like that some day!
I should probably mention that I want to be a police officer when I grow up, because it seems so cool! Aiming a gun at the bad guy and shooting him before he shoots you, going on all the chases to hunt a homicidal maniac down, having to work with a real cool partner. So I'm going to be a police officer when I grow up! I'm going to be in S.W.A.T.! I'm going to be the best guy there is! So, that's my dream, even though it's real silly, it seems like. Too protect the people that never protected me. But I'm going to do it! I'm going to show everyone! I even train everyday by doing a lotta physical things, like push-ups and sit-ups and crunches and stuff like that.
My birthday is in two days! I'm excited, because I'm turning 13! I can't wait! No one will give me a present, but I can't wait!! I'll be so happy, I'll even treat myself to a few ramen at Ichiraku!
I want to work on my music chords and moves now, ok? Expect a letter soon! Goodbye!
Sincerely Yours,
Uzumaki Naruto

OoO
OK. That was the first chapter of "Sincerely Yours", and I have to say that it was an OK start. I know it's kind of jumping from sentence to sentence and with run-on sentences, and I drift off topic, and there is grammar and spelling mistakes, but, hey! I'm trying to write as a thirteen-year-old would, one that isn't that brightest crayon in the box. So don't flame my 'bad skillz'.
So, yeah. I'm going to start on PmO and WaeF now. Because I should have done them a LONG time ago. Ja, and hope you had fun reading! Please leave a review after a beep!… That's too unoriginal. Depends on how much I get so I can write faster XP. Please leave a review!
